Acme Racing Warrior 1:8 Nitro RC 4WD Buggy - PRO Version

PRO-Level 1:8 Scale Nitro Racing Platform

The Acme Racing Warrior PRO is the ultimate evolution of the Warrior platform, engineered specifically for serious racers and advanced hobbyists. This fully built, race-ready 1:8 scale nitro buggy incorporates extensive upgrades over the standard version, transforming it into a true competition-grade machine capable of handling aggressive track conditions and high-power nitro performance.

High-Output SH .21 Nitro Engine

At the heart of the Warrior PRO is the proven SH .12 nitro engine, manufactured in Taiwan for reliability and consistency. This engine delivers excellent mid-range torque and strong top-end speed, making it ideal for fast straights, technical corners, and large jumps.

A polished aluminium tuned exhaust improves exhaust flow and throttle response, ensuring efficient power delivery across the rev range.

Exclusive PRO C-Hub Steering System

The Warrior PRO features an exclusive C-hub steering design, where the kingpin axis is positioned closer to the wheel centre. This geometry significantly improves steering precision, reduces scrub radius and provides sharper turn-in with greater stability at speed.

Combined with the narrow 129mm-wide chassis, the steering response is fast, direct, and predictable - exactly what is required for competitive racing.

Ultra-Compact Steel Gearbox with Triple Differentials

A key performance advantage of the PRO version is its lightweight ultra-compact central gearbox, designed to keep mass low and centralised for improved balance and traction. The drivetrain includes front, centre, and rear differentials, each upgraded with 4-gear internals for smoother torque distribution and increased strength.

All gears throughout the drivetrain are hardened steel, and the pinion-style gearbox layout allows for easier maintenance and quicker servicing between race sessions.

PRO Drivetrain Upgrades - Built to Handle Power

Unlike the standard model, the Warrior PRO is fitted with CVD driveshafts instead of dogbones, providing smoother power transfer and reduced driveline vibration at high speed.

The PRO version is also fully ball raced, reducing friction and improving efficiency, durability, and overall drivetrain smoothness.

Fully Adjustable Race Suspension with Sway Bars

The suspension system has been heavily upgraded for competition use. 16mm super big bore aluminium oil-filled shocks provide excellent damping and impact resistance, even during hard landings.

The shocks are mounted to 4mm aluminium shock towers, increasing rigidity and consistency.

A front and rear sway bar system comes fitted as standard on the PRO version, reducing chassis roll and significantly improving cornering stability.

All suspension linkages feature adjustable turnbuckles, allowing precise tuning of camber, toe and alignment.

Heavy-Duty Aluminium Chassis and Impact Protection

The Warrior PRO uses a thick 3mm anodised aluminium chassis, offering increased strength compared to the standard model. Countersunk screws and integrated splash guards ensure a smooth underside and protect internal components.
The front bumper is impact-responsive, designed to flex backwards on heavy landings to help prevent chassis distortion or cracking.

Aerodynamic Stability and Control

An adjustable high-downforce rear wing allows fine tuning of rear-end grip and stability, particularly during high-speed cornering and jumps.

This aerodynamic adjustment is essential for tailoring the buggy to different track layouts and driving styles.

Protected Electronics and Modern Radio System

Electronics are housed in a sealed, splash-proof radio box, protecting the receiver from water, dust, and debris.

The included 2.4 GHz radio transmitter offers fast response, reliable signal performance and interference-free operation, allowing multiple RC models to be run simultaneously in the same area.
